Chapter 260 Reaching Qingyun Peak

Lin Zhao found Jin Ya without much effort. Seeing Jin Ya, who had returned to her original form, and Yun Fei beside her, he asked, "What happened? The contract tells me you just encountered danger."

Jin Ya was furious: "How could it not be dangerous? They chained me up with a thousand-year-old paulownia tree!"

The phoenix is ​​a favorite spiritual plant of the phoenix, but it is not so good for other birds and divine beasts. This thing has a natural restraining effect on the spiritual energy of cultivators. A thousand-year-old phoenix tree can lock the spiritual energy of cultivators below the Fusion stage, while a ten-thousand-year-old phoenix tree can seal all the spiritual energy of cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage.

Lin Zhao could understand that the Phoenix Medicine Sect had the resources to produce such a thing, but she didn't have any delicious food to soothe Jin Ya's emotions, so she could only say, "Don't be angry. After we finish things here, I'll take you to the Ancient Phoenix Tower for a good meal. I heard they have earth dragon tendons there."

She should have kept quiet, because Jin Ya felt even more aggrieved: "I'm about to be arrested before you'll give me earthworm tendons? If I went back to my aunt's, I wouldn't even want earthworm tendons to make shoes for her!"

Lin Zhao felt somewhat at a loss because of her grievances, and couldn't help but feel guilty. The young girl did indeed come from an extraordinary background and had suffered some hardships with him.

"Then what do you want?"

"Once you've finished your business here, come with me to Wolong Valley in the Central Continent. I want to eat the real dragon there!"

Upon hearing this, Yunfei immediately chimed in, "I want to eat too!"

Lin Zhao: "..." They really are two ancestors.

Knowing that Jin Ya had suffered a great injustice this time, Lin Zhao did not refuse: "I will do my best."

After calming Jin Ya down, Lin Zhao took them both to his cave. He wasn't surprised to learn that Ji Wantang had issued a warrant for his arrest.

"It seems I can't use my original appearance anymore."

Furthermore, Lin Zhao wondered if the Zhao family would be implicated.

Yunfei seemed to see through Lin Zhao's thoughts: "Do you have a grudge against Ji Wantang?"

Lin Zhao nodded: "A blood feud, I suppose."

Is it that serious? Yunfei's eyes immediately filled with sympathy: "But don't worry too much. Apart from this bounty and the people from the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion, Ji Wantang can't command the true power of the Bright Hall."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because the Bright Hall held a position in the Ancestral Phoenix Continent just like the South Sea Academy held in the Heavenly Phoenix Continent—it was one of the undisputed giants of the Ancestral Phoenix Continent.

If such a being were to unleash its full power against him, Lin Zhao would truly have a headache for a long time.

"Originally, Ji Wantang could have completely controlled the Bright Hall, but who told her to personally kill the current Bright Hall Master's own son on the arena?"

Lin Zhao took a deep breath and gave this person a thumbs up.

"Although she has thus become the undisputed young master of the Bright Hall, as long as the current hall master is in power, he will not allow Ji Wantang to mobilize everyone in the Bright Hall."

As Yunfei spoke, she also seemed somewhat gloating. She didn't have a good impression of anyone in the Bright Hall, especially Ji Wantang, who had also taken the lives of royal family members. It's easy to imagine that Yunfei felt even worse about Ji Wantang.

Jin Ya couldn't help but say, "How can she dare to kill anyone?"

Yunfei spread her hands: "Because she is strong enough. The most powerful ancestor in the Bright Hall is her master, so even if she can't touch too many people in the Bright Hall, no one can shake her position."

After understanding her situation, Lin Zhao actually sorted out some thoughts: "The princess ran away secretly, didn't she?"

Yunfei's expression instantly turned unnatural: "Following my father and the others is just too boring, so please let me follow you. I have a magical artifact that my mother gave me, and if all else fails, I can ask for the life-saving talisman that my mother gave me."

After realizing that she seemed to be regarded as the other party's pillar of support, Lin Zhao was both amused and exasperated. How could she possibly have the ability to command a true immortal woman?
“Your Highness may come along if you wish, but Prince Chiyuan has already disguised himself as you.”

“I can impersonate other people.” Yunfei was easy to talk to about this. “Then I’ll go with you, okay? Just tell my dad.” Lin Zhao: “…” Fine, I’ll just keep an eye on things myself.

After letting the two girls rest there, Lin Zhao opened the Heavenly Mirror. The Heavenly Mirror then traveled to the Ancestral Phoenix Continent, and its plaza also changed to the plaza of the Ancestral Phoenix Continent as the location changed.

Lin Zhao saw his bounty poster without much effort.

Can I give myself to Ji Wantang?

One hundred million high-grade spirit stones, that's a lot of money. Ji Wantang is really rich.

Grandma Honghu laughed and said, "Look at how greedy you are. You must have more than this much money in your Worry-Free Commerce now."

Lin Zhao chuckled and recalled what he had done during this period. He quickly understood the cause and effect: "During this period, I only came into contact with Ji Wantang in the spiritual world. I guess that's when I was recognized. She really thought highly of me."

Judging from Ji Wantang's arrangements, it's not hard to guess that Ji Wantang still thinks she's in the Fusion stage. She ordered all the cultivators below the Fusion stage under her command to take action, intending to set up an inescapable trap.

However, Lin Zhao wasn't too panicked. After contacting Zhao Wuyan through the Heavenly Mirror and learning that nothing had happened to the Zhao family because of him, Lin Zhao felt much more at ease.

Lin Zhao was not surprised by this result. After all, the fact that Minglan from the Phoenix Medicine Sect appeared in the Worry-Free Merchant Guild meant that the Phoenix Medicine Sect had high-level support for the Zhao family. No matter how talented Ji Wantang was, she was only at the Nascent Soul stage and was far away in the Central Continent. Without the full support of the Bright Hall, Ji Wantang alone could not really do anything to the people protected by the Phoenix Medicine Sect, the local tyrant of the Northwest Continent.

However, this incident means that until he finds a powerful backer to deal with Ji Wantang, he will not be able to use his original face again.

This is what Lin Zhao regrets: "Once I can leave the Northwest Continent, I must find a way to resolve this matter."

Grandma Honghu said, "You are not a demonic cultivator. Real prestigious sects rarely pay attention to such bounties, so there is no need to worry too much."

Lin Zhao nodded and said, "I saw the message Zhao Wuyan sent me. The other peaks of the Phoenix Medicine Sect have already issued a martial law order. I guess the Second Elder has also noticed something is wrong and will be coming to find me soon."

"Aren't you worried that he might kill you out of desperation?" Grandma Honghu asked.

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Let's take it one step at a time."

The next morning, Lin Zhao left Jin Ya in his room and took Yun Fei to the top of Qingyun Peak.

"Do we really have to go back there?" Yunfei was actually a little scared. "By the way, how is Senior Brother?"

Lin Zhao said, "I heard they went on a mission to a place where demons appear."

Upon hearing this, Yunfei felt a little regretful: "If only I had taken action sooner to tie him up."

Lin Zhao reminded her, "That Sima Ridge seems to be related to evil thoughts from another world."

"So what? I'll just have my mother handle it." Yunfei rested her chin on her hand. "It's rare to find someone who suits my taste."

Lin Zhao could only say, "I will meet someone even better in the future."

Yunfei nodded in agreement: "That's right, I should be able to meet someone more to my liking when I get to the Upper Realm."

The moment the two reached the summit of Qingyun Peak, they felt the chill around them, and Yunfei shivered and tried to run away.

Lin Zhao pressed her hand down, signaling her to calm down, and then activated the glass mirror in his sleeve to begin recording the surrounding scene.
